Purity Police Pick Perfect President!!

[guillaumeb]

By my count, (and I am notoriously bad at counting when I run out of fingers), there have been 10,945,726 posts revealing that at some point in the past 100 years, candidate X said something objectionable about policy Y.

In addition, (again with the math references), candidate Y was at one time clearly wrong about position Z.

So what is to be done about these clearly non-perfect candidates who are currently running for President?


In my view, the first objective is to defeat Trump, and as many Trump supporting and enabling candidates as possible.

Second, we must admit that no matter who we currently support in the primary season, that person at some time in the past said something objectionable.

Third, if my/your favored candidate does not win the nomination, at the Presidential or Congressional level, get over it, and support the Democratic candidate. Any of our candidates are far better than any GOP candidates.

1. Spoken like a true Warren supporter.

Let me tell you something about Elizabeth Warren.

In 1997, she was driving through Boston. She parked her car in front of a restaurant called "Pizza Pete". This restaurant was part of a building owned by Richard Mongus, who owned several buildings in the area. Mr. Mongus is still a land lord in the area, but he spends a lot of his time listening to Joe Rogan's podcast. And his employees have reported that he often laughs at Rogan's jokes during the podcast.

I think you need to ask yourself: is this really what you want from a Presidential candidate?

2. And she did not put money in the meter.

An appalling example indeed.

4. Jefferson as well.

I did not vote for either man.

Yes, this idea of finding imperfections, even from as long as 50 years ago, is a waste of energy. What does your candidate stand for today, and what has that candidate done to make the country a better place should be the focus.
